I am occasionally getting the following kernel message:
Sep 19 08:54:02 mach2 kernel: usbhid: probe of 3-2.4:1.1 failed with
error
-5
I did a grep to find all occurrences of usbhid in the logs, and this is
what happened:
# cd /var/log
# grep usbhid *
anaconda.syslog:<6>usbcore: registered new driver usbhid
dmesg:usbcore: registered new driver usbhid
grep: memory exhausted
I found this unusual, as I have 2 GB of ram (not a lot these days, but
more
than I've ever had before).
Does anyone know why grep would be exhausting available ram?
Maybe is a /proc issue.
Maybe grep is eating all the input it can from files in /proc.
Just an opinion.

what does a
#ls -hal /var/log
tell you?
total 4.1M
and then a list of the contents. This machine is not (yet) in service, so there
isn't much in the logs.
